texts of Basil also used by Theodoret of Cyrus in the Eranistes.13 Two were from the HGrat. [4] 5, and the other from C. Eun. 2.14 Again, these canons are found in a well-known early ninth-century canon law manuscript from Corbie, Berlin DSB Phill. 1776.15

Basil's C. Eun., which was unknown in a Latin translation in the early Middle Ages except in fragments in our canonical collections, is also found embedded in the Edictum lustiniani Rectae fidei. This time, however, the extract is not from the genuinely Basil sections of C. Eun. but from book 4.16 Moreover, the Latin text of the Edictum with its Basil text is not found in well-known early medieval canon law collections, but in the fairly obscure ninth-century canon law manuscript, Montpellier

BEM 58 and Cambridge Pembroke Coll. 108 from Bury.17

It was perhaps from the Edictum lustiniani that this same extract from **C. Eun. 4 entered the text of the acts of the Second Council of Seville

(619).18 The extract, which is also found in the Florilegium ofLeontius of Byzantium.19 was embedded into the florilegium associated with the canons of the Council20 and was given wide broadcast in the early Middle

Ages by its inclusion in the chronological canonical collections that contained the acts of this Hispanic council.

We now move from the early medieval chronological collections to the systematic collections, where Basil texts are much more plentiful. Of the few extant systematic collections antedating the ninth century that served as vehicles for texts attributed to Basil, three stand out. One of these collections is Irish, another Frankish, and the third "Franco-Irish." Also there are the penitentials, both Insular and Continental.

The Irish systematic collection of canons is the Collectio hibernensis, the object of study of our Basilian father, Joseph Wey, for many years.

22 This collection, compiled in Irish circles in Europe ca. 700 is well known for its texts of the Eastern fathers, Gregory of Nazianzus, John Chrysostom, and others. According to Professor Munier's computations there are only three texts belonging to Basil.

23 And if one looks at the nineteenth-century edition of Wasserschieben, there are indeed only three snippets from Basil, all neatly labeled Basilius dicit or simply Basilius.

2* Of the brief snippets two are from Rufinus' translation of the Asc. Ir, and one is from the Pseudo-Basil Admon. used earlier by Defensor of Ligugé in his Liber scintillarum.25 In the manuscripts underlying Wasserschleben's edition of the Hibernensis four, perhaps five, additional snippets can be found from Basil's Asceticon.26 These additional texts appear in a long version (the 21 Vives' edition of the canon is taken from the Collectio hispana in the Codex

Vigilanus, El Escorial RBSI.EE d.i.2. For the text as it appears in the Pseudo-Isidorian

Decretals, see PI. 130: 607.

so-called Form B) of the Hibernensis with clear ties in southern Italy.

These snippets from Basil's texts in the Hibernensis — all dealing with modes of Christian behavior and fasting — were widely scattered in the early Middle Ages wherever the Hibernensis went and became especially popular in southern Italy in the tenth century and beyond, as will be seen.

Turning from the earliest Insular systematic collection to the Continent, it had not been known until a few years ago that Basil's texts from the Asc. lr played a prominent role in the earliest and most widely diffused collection of the Frankish Church, the Collectio Vetus Gallica. In its last recension dating to the second quarter of the eighth century this ancient

Lyonese collection originally directed to clerics was supplemented at the monastery of Corbie with long and almost complete Interrogationes from Basil's Asceticon, all dealing with the monastic life.

28 In his splendid edition of this collection. Professor Mordek suggests that the monastic redactor at Corbie may have used the famous Leningrad codex of Basil's

Asc. Ir for his text.

29 It could also be that the compiler used a manuscript 130. Holste. I: 96 Cf. Wasserschieben, p. 27.) f. 68 v. 14.4. leiunii mensura non debet... habuisse signantur. ( = EApokr. 89. Holste.

somewhat like another famous early Basil codex, Laon BM 330, now known to have been written at Corbie.

The third pre-ninth-century systematic collection containing Basil texts is the so-called Collection of St.-Germain. This collection includes both texts from the Collectio hibernensis and Frankish sources, and in the midst of the canons on penance the compiler has inserted canons from Interrogationes 15-28 of BasiVsAsc. Ir.

31 The only "complete" manuscript of this collection, Paris BN lat. 12444, was written at Fleury in the late eighth or early ninth century, 32 and could the Basil texts there be compared with the now mutilated codex, Orleans BV 192, a southern

French manuscript of the A sc. Ir that had come to Fleury by the late eighth century, 33 dependencies might be established.

LATIN CANONICAL COLLECTIONS

French manuscript of the third quarter of the ninth century,35 draws heavily on Basil's texts.36 The compiler of this Munich manuscript omitted several of Basil's texts in the Collection of St.-Germain, but he added one from the Pseudo-Basil Admon. not found in his model.37

Since at least the nineteenth century it has been widely recognized that one of the chief vehicles for the transmission of Basil's texts and ideas to the West were the penitential collections. Our knowledge of Western penitential literature is soon to be revolutionized by the circle of scholars working with Professor Kottje in Germany,38 and hence it is perhaps premature to comment about the Basil texts found in the penitentials edited to date. But for our purposes a convenient distinction can be made between the penitentials that specifically cite Basil as the source of a particular canon and those that simply reflect his works. In both cases, however, the compilers of the penitentials seem to have known Basil's penitential discipline from Greek, perhaps Syriac, sources, especially the three Canonical Epistles to Amphilochius, epistles not translated into Latin until much after our period.39

Of the penitentials that cite Basil directly as an authority, several stand out. There are first the so-called Theodorian penitentials, including the Conones Gregorii, Capitula Dacheriana, Canones Cottoniani, and the Its Origins and Early Medieval Development," MS 34 (1972) 137; St. Gall SB 40, p. 304;

widely diffused Collection of the Discipulus Umbrensium. This last penitential, compiled probably in England ca. 680-690, contains no less than five canons that cite Basil directly as a source

40 and twenty-six more that may have been inspired by Basil's Canonical Epistles.*

1 One of the canons that cites Basil's name specifically as a source was also used in the eighth-century 'Confessional of Egbert,'

42 and two anonymous canons from the Collection of the Discipulus Umbrensium on menstruous women were placed under Basil's name in the Penitential of Marlene, found in a ninth-century Fleury manuscript now in Florence.

Other penitentials that cite Basil directly are the Excarpsus Cummeani, the Paenitentiale Remense, and the Canones Basilienses, recently studied and edited by Dr. Asbach. All of these repeat at least two canons found already in the Theodorian penitentials.

44 Most surprising are three manu40 P. W. Finsterwalder, Die Canones Theodori Cantuariensis und ihre Ùberlieferungsformen (Weimar 1929) pp. 290, 301, 307, 322, 327:

A rapid survey of the indices of Schmitz' study and edition of the Continental penitentials of the ninth century and beyond will show the large number of instances in which texts in Basil's Canonical Epistles appear to have influenced the Continental compilers.46 Schmitz' citations are almost all to canons in the so-called Penitentiale Vallicellanum I, a penitential of the late eighth or early ninth century compiled in northern

Italy,47 but a close reading of other Continental penitentials will show the influences of Basil right through the early Middle Ages.

After the late eighth century the next large infusion of Basil texts into Western canonical collections was to come in the very late ninth century, but before dealing with this infusion an isolated ninth-century canonical manuscript should be mentioned as containing Basil's texts drawn from sources other than his Asceticon and Canonica! Epistles. This codex, Paris

S. 18.45,49 another from the HMart. [19],50 and the third from the Pseudo-Basil Eluln. [360].51 The source of these Basil

By the very late ninth century there appeared in northern France a collection that would have enormous influence in the diffusion of Basil texts in the great classical medieval collections of canon law, the Collectio

Quadripartita." In at least two of its books, 3 and 4, there is over a score of texts from or attributed to Basil. The great majority is taken from Rufinus' translation of the Asceticon, 5* but others reflect the shadowy "Smaragdus" text 55 and even the Greek EApokr. fus.
